So much destruction in modern war takes place miles and miles away from the source of the destruction, the human being who has caused it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
That war has brought with it a truly incredible development of means of destruction and a terrifying prospect of rapid and almost limitless development in that direction.
War is the science of destruction.
War is devastating, and it leaves its scars for generations.
War is usually fought over diminishing resources, particulary those that we perceive to be extremely valuable.
War seems to be one of the most salutary phenomena for the culture of human nature; and it is not without regret that I see it disappearing more and more from the scene.
The war begins to make itself felt very near to us.
Only one thing can conquer war - that attitude of mind which can see nothing in war but destruction and annihilation.
We have witnessed the most extraordinary devastation. The magnitude of the situation is unbelievable. It's just heartbreaking.
War remains the decisive human failure.
The basic fact about human existence is not that it is a tragedy, but that it is a bore. It is not so much a war as an endless standing in line.
